in hollywood, a stunt coordinator gets about 3600 per week, that is base pay. the good ones go up to 8000. but if you're also directing, doing second unit
stuff, you get $15,000 a week. the real big shots get $25-30,000 a week. I don't know about yuen-woping though, probably way more?

Well I know for work with The Stunt People, Eric usually makes between -20 dollars and -150 dollars a week. Depending on if Nathaniel and Gavin have jobs at
the time.

Sometimes I get bananas too. For me it depends. The best I've gotten for just choreographing is about $230 per day, and that was awesome... for 3 days.
Then I was stuck in Indiana for another 4 days being paid nothing... so I actually made more like $100 per day. Nevermind.

I usually get a bunch of actors who all think that they know a lot more about fighting .. at least that happenes for about 50% of the jobs I did for
filmschools etc.

I'm just starting out, so the most I've ever received is $100/day for stunt coordinating.
I don't know if this helps at all, but here are some Union figures (off the top of my head, so they may be off) Non-Union PA- around $100/day Non-Union Extra- about $100/8hr day Union Extra- about $200/8hr day Union Principal- about $700/8hr day or $2,000 a week I'm stuck in Connecticut where there aren't a lot of action movies, so when I find out there is one, I often jump at the chance to work on it, even if it's for free (which it usually is). |
